Nothing about KAG's performances suggest that he's ready. I'd start Church and Watt. Young players should only be thrown in if they are ready to give a credible performance
Gomez is first choice centre half now. If he's fit he plays.
If Joe was 27 I'd be fully in agreement with your sentiments.
However a 17 year old needs a certain amount of "nursing" as too much football in a short space of time while growing can be detrimental.
Joe played 3 under 19 international games in a week or so plus the Millwall and Fulham matches in quick succession.
At his tender age he may well need to be rested.
Sorry Len, I disagree, if he's good enough he's old enough.
Except his body is still developing so he shouldn't be pushed too hard. A different sport, I know, but look at the wreckage of tennis players such as Jennifer Capriatti.
Going to Hillsborough and have to say it's more for the social aspect than the game itself. Have a few beers with some chaps I won't see for a few months, sing a few songs, have a little giggle and if I get to witness a half-decent game of football then bonus. A win would be lovely but I won't be too distraught if we lose tomorrow.
I’ve been to the pub for my Friday Five. Right, who wants some then? A Hungarian optimist might ask “would we be top if we still had Diawara at the back?” Should we be worried? Jokes, indeed. When Saturday comes, our managers’ best signings and the quality of the pitch could make us masters 2015. Today I will be mostly listening to car advice though, but at Sheff Wednesday, we will need fortitude. We might win with a Hatton Garden robbery, I think. Weeeeeeee!
Unfortunately I cannot be there as my Daughter is competing in the Brighton marathon on Sunday and I shall be travelling down on Saturday. Pity as I like the Wendies away - or is it the hot pork rolls?
Wednesday have defensive injury problems and we have returning players. Quite fancy us to win this as we need a lift but I think more likely another 1-1 draw.

He has given some credible cameo performances so with respect, you're wrong. How do you know if a young player is 'ready' if you don't give them a run in the side.
Plus, what the heck is the point in playing Church? A soon to be out of contract player who won't be here next season.
I think Luzon will want to field a strong side and bag 3 points if possible. May have been different if we had picked up more than one point in the last two games. My money's on a 2-2 draw.
All players are different, and it becomes evident when they need resting. I don't think gomez shows signs of needing a rest and experience is good for him. If form dips then needs resting quickly though.

So we go from the Ridiculous to the sublime.
Just saying.
